Virtual CreativeMornings Turkey: Eda Demir & Ozan Sakin

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Eda Demir continues her career as a content producer and creative producer built on her advertising education and experience. Demir, co-founded of Upcoming—a company that creates and carries out its own special projects in vertical categories such as music, food and decoration—has been working on “Daire” (The Flat) for the last 2.5 years.

After graduating from the Advertising Design and Communication department from Yeditepe University, she started her advertising career at Ping Digital and continued at Plasenta, followed by Twitter Turkey operations at Genart. Having studied Music Business at Berklee College of Music, Demir took a break from advertising and moved to Chicago, where she continued to work as a freelance copywriter and author. She took part in the team responsible for Turkish music at Shazam. Then she established the Turkish branch of a global music movement, Sofar Sounds, and started the Sofar Istanbul project in 2013. Since 2019, she has been running “Daire” (The Flat) project that produces video and photo content in the fields of decoration, design, modern life and interior architecture, undertaking the titles of producer and director of the project.

Ozan Sakin is the co-founder of Upcoming, (the other co-founder being Eda Demir) a company specializing in the production of qualified content projects. Among its most well known projects in Turkey are; Daire (The Flat)—a lifestyle and decoration channel at YouTube, and Sofar Istanbul—the biggest branch of Sofar Sounds, the global flag carrier of house concert series and videos, in 500+ cities around the world.

Born in 1980, having a business degree from Koc University, Sakin began ‎his career as a Product Manager at L’Oréal, shortly after to be transferred to the agency side at McCann Erickson’s account planning and strategy. Back again on the client side, he continued as the Digital Advertising Manager at Digiturk. Next, when he joined Anadolu Efes, as the Digital Marketing Manager. When the complete ban on advertising alcohol took effect, and leaving all advertising related titles useless, he realized countless branded content projects because of (or thanks to) this infamous “prohibition era.” Since 2015, he has been forging new generation branded content and experience projects, mainly focusing on the company’s own productions.

Türkiye’deki yolculuğu 2015 yılında İstanbul edisyonu ile başlayan CreativeMornings, 2021 yılının Temmuz ayında Türkiye’deki dört edisyonun bir araya gelmesiyle tek bir ortak etkinlik düzenliyor.

CreativeMornings Türkiye, Temmuz ayında ‘Home’ (Ev) teması ile bizi son iki yıldır içinde fazlaca vakit geçirdiğimiz, her köşesini ve kendisiyle olan ilişkimizi yeniden sorguladığımız, kendimize güvenli alanlar yarattığımız veya bazen en güvensiz hissettiğimiz ‘ev’ kavramını tartışmaya açıyor.

‘Home’ (Ev) teması altında Daire adlı YouTube kanalları ile 2019 yılından beri Türkiye’de sayısız ‘ev’e konuk olmuş, ‘ev’lerin hikâyelerini anlatan Daire ekibinin kurucu ortakları Eda Demir ve Ozan Sakin’i ağırlıyoruz.

Program: 09:00-09:30: Karşılama ve Kahvaltı 09:30-10:00: Konuşma 10:00-10.30: Soru-Cevap ve Sosyal Alan Zoom üzerinden gerçekleşecek etkinliğe kayıt olmak için buraya tıklayın.

Haziran’ın teması ‘ev’ Evde hissetmek için bir ömür geçirebilirsiniz. Bazen de onu bulmak için evimizden ayrılmamız gerekir. Rabindranath Tagore “Eve Yolculuk” adlı şiirinde şöyle yazıyor: “Yolcu, kendi kapısına ulaşmak için her yabancı kapıyı çalmalıdır.” Ait hissettiğimiz bir yer veya sevdiğimiz insanlar bizim için ev olabilir. Nereye giderseniz gidin ev yanınızda taşınabilir ve insanların birlikteliğiyle oluşturulabilir. Ev, eğildiğimiz bir yön, tekrar tekrar yapmamız gereken bir şeydir. Siz kendinize nasıl bir ev yaptınız? Peki biz birbirimize bir ev inşa etmek için ne yapabiliriz?

CreativeMornings, which started its journey in Turkey with the Istanbul edition in 2015, is organizing a single joint event in July 2021 with the coming together of the four editions in Turkey.

CreativeMornings Turkey, with the theme of ‘Home’ in July, opens up a discussion on the concept of ‘home’, in which we have spent a lot of time in the last two years, in which we re-examine every corner and our relationship with ourselves, create safe spaces for ourselves or sometimes feel the most insecure.

Under the theme of ‘Home’, we are hosting Eda Demir and Ozan Sakin, the co-founders of the Daire (Flat), who have been the guests and storytellers of countless ‘homes’ in Turkey since 2019 through their YouTube channel.

June’s Theme is Home You can spend a lifetime looking for a sense of home. Sometimes we must leave our home in order to find it. In his poem “Journey Home,” Rabindranath Tagore writes, “The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own.” Home can be a place we belong, home can be found among people we love, home can be carried with you wherever you go. Home can be formed by people creating together. Home is a direction we’re tilted towards. Home is something we have to remake again and again. What home have you built for yourself? What can we do to build a home for each other? CreativeMornings/Kansas City chapter chose July’s Home theme, and Allison Kerek Williams created the accompanying illustration.
